Anyone here actually using the Verified tab in notifications? Just noticed I’ve never opened it before. Does it serve any real purpose for you?

Work takes most of the day The project runs fine, but it’s the same kind of tasks every time Not much to learn, not much to explore By the end, I've got no energy left for my own ideas They just wait for a "free evening" that never comes Kinda feels like I’m stuck maintaining,…

Tried building a browser extension to separate retweets from original tweets on X profiles The idea felt simple. The implementation... less so No reliable way to fetch originals only, and client-side hacks didn’t work Putting it on hold for now, but still glad I explored it

There’s a strange moment in dev work where you finally simplify the over-engineered thing you built two months ago and it's like "I am both the villain and the hero of this story."

Thinking of starting a "Day n of doing stuff" thing 👀 Not sure it'll be daily, cause sometimes work drains all the sparkle out of me ☠️ But I'll try to keep it going Tiny updates, solo dev energy, maybe a little companion here and there 🐾 Let’s see how long I can keep it up

I'm not building a unicorn. I'm building something I needed. Turns out, a few others needed it too. That's more than enough.
